Description: There’s a new drug running rife amongst the Undead community. Once ingested it simulates all of the symptoms of the living, faster pulse, perspiration, the intoxicating rush of blood through your veins…
Not that Max or Tom would be stupid enough to try it of course, they’re far to busy smashing their senses to a pulp working their way though Deadbeat’s new cocktail menu.
But when people start vanishing from the Soho streets and some of their customers disrupt big band nights by keeling over dead for the second time they decide it might be worth looking into, if only to stop profits dropping too far.
Which, in a lifetime of bad decisions, may rank as their worst yet.
Deadbeat: Dogs of Waugh is the second in a series of adventures set in the secret underbelly of contemporary London, a place where the dead walk, magic can be bought on street corners and anything is possible.
Frankly, it’s just like every other Pulp / Crime / Horror / Zombie / Comedy / Thriller you’ve ever read.
Notes: Comes complete with Author's Commentary, an additional short story featuring one of the characters in the novella, and a Martini recipe.
